The 2005 Opel Astra 3dr 1.8 16V 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,210 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.94 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,902nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 200th quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 84.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
